Pixel Art Details

A bit larger piece than my last few...I decided to test the new grafx2, and this is what came out in the end. Seems that the program is pretty nice :D Check it out at http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/

Took me a while to finish it. I'm not used to 16 colors per spread anymore. Think I'll stick to 8 to 10 in the future. Enjoy.

edit: Significantly improved the palette, and fixed some tiny bits as well. Thanks to everyone who helped.You can check the old version here

edit: Changed the palette a bit further, thanks to everyone at Pixelation who helped. Also cleaned up some bits and made some invisible changes as well. Old version is at http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8907/rocklobster43sl7.gif

In my eyes this is one of the most creative things I have ever seen but it's not really made in a simplfying graphical way. I can't really tell you how long I watched at this piece, but I guess more than 5 hours for sure. I especially love the textures and the soft action in the piece (and of course the desing and lots of other things)

The only things which I don't really like after the long time of watching is the axis of the nose, the lighting of the beneth plane of the nose and some of the single pixel detail in the shadow of the planet - this things don't really really hurt it looks just perfect to me.
